Bethesda wouldn't be that stupid.

That is what immediately comes to mind, but Bethesda would totally do this, wouldn't they?

It's both possible and probable that this is true, with MS buying exclusive rights to the game from Bethesda in order to push their console, similar to what Nintendo did with Bayonetta.

Microsoft's biggest weakness was their lack of decent exclusives outside of a few big name shooters because Sony kept snatching them all up. So this might be Microsoft's way of leveling the playing field.

Nope, still not buying an Xbone. Even if this turns out to be true.
Especially if it turns out to be true. But to be honest, an Xbone exclusive gaiden game is still possible, although if playing it is essential to the Fallout 4 experience somehow, then screw them.

Well, I can't see Bethesda existing much longer if they do make the mistake of making Fallout 4 exclusive to the failbox one.

Bethesda is responsible for releasing most of the biggest and most successful games for the PC in the past several years, that would be more than half of their income from the game releases! I can't believe they'd be that stupid.

Hmm, I dunno. Bayonetta 2 was never going to get made without Nintendo but Fallout 3 and NV were very successful on all formats.

Seems to me like they may try to pay for all these exclusives so that people will have no choice but to buy an Xbone to play them. Even if they are just time exclusives it could still work for people who are desperate to play game shortly after they come out.

I feel betrayed really. As much as I held the PS3 in much higher regards than the Xbox 360, I really wanted to have hopes for the next xbox. I kept telling all my friends that asked "So youre probably going to get the PS4, right?", that instead I was "Waiting to see what the Xbox would offer." Turns out, so far they are offering a cable box with a disc drive that's attempting to block out the used games market by charging for it anyway. Even if they turn out and say that they aren't doing all the bad things they've said so far, I refuse to buy from a company that outright lied to me about something that big.

what if the next Elder Scrolls is Xbone exclusive too?
Then we can all wave to Bethesda and Microsoft as they throw themselves off a cliff, wrapped in each other's embrace. I can't wait for the next generation. It feels like it's time to cull the herd/industry. Exciting times.
